Ferry Building foodie pilgrimage gag

The Ferry Building Marketplace at the foot of Market Street hosts a long-running farmers market and dozens of artisanal food vendors, making it a major destination for local and visiting foodies. Locals often joke that visiting San Francisco without a stop at the Ferry Building is like leaving town without tasting the city. The building's public marketplace and its Saturday farmers market are frequently cited in guides to the city's culinary scene. The Ferry Building also houses office and retail tenants and is a historic landmark on the Embarcadero.
